Natural Logic Inference for Emotion Detection

Current research on emotion detection focuses on the recognizing explicit emotion expressions in text. In this paper, we propose an approach based on textual inference to detect implicit emotion expressions, that is, to capture emotion detection as an logical inference issue. The approach builds a natural logic system, in which emotional detection are decomposed into a series of logical inference process. The system also employ inference knowledge from textural inference resources for reasoning complex expressions in emotional texts. Experimental results show the efficiency in detecting implicit emotional expressions.
